Azath Salley, the leader of National Unity Alliance and Member Central Provincial Council yesterday lodged a complaint of 284 incidents against Muslims with the Special Police Unit set up by the President to handle religious intolerance at the Ministry of Buddha Sasana and Religious Affairs.
During the visit to the Special Police Unit Azath Salley said; “We have lost all confidence in the police with their lack of actions against persons who were responsible for such incidents, as seen by no arrests up to date; We have lodged a complaint due to the President having set up the special unit and to ensure that no one will on a later date state that no complaints have been lodged for them to take relavent measures.”

Mr Sally
At least you have done something for your society, though your long time aim is not known

upali Wijewardene / April 29, 2014
Yes, we also can make complaints against the destruction of Buddhism by these thugs in robes. The minority communities, if they have done anything wrong needs to be taken to task, but I doubt, under the gun culture prevalent in our beautiful land, any of the minorities would blasphemy Buddhism. The drunkard, foul mouthed scoundrel needs to be arrested and brought before the courts of law if anyone is to have any faith in the newly established religious police. Do they have the spine to do it????????????????????

SF,JVP,SLMC and Hela Urumaya have no faith in this
special police unit.JVP has reportedly ridiculed it.
Are they right?I believe yes they are!How can one
small unit of seven guys deal with the island wide
racist menace?Is this a freedom in disguise,given to
the police in the rest of the island,to ignore BBS
activities in their areas under the excuse that it is
handled by a special unit and the victims have to
report it to them?And the next question is,why can’t
the president warn the perpetrators not to create
racial tension at a time his govt formed LLRC to iron
out existing dangers?Why can’t he appoint a commission
and ask the extreme Buddhist unofficial police force
(in their own terms)to complain their grievances
against minorities instead of spreading hatred against
Muslims by way of openly lying?There is only one way
to stop this.Hold the master responsible.EITHER THE
GOVT IS AGAINST THE BBS OR WITH THE BBS.CHALLENGE THE
GOVT TO GET ITS NAME CLEARED FIRST.THIS POLICE UNIT
IS A FACE SAVING TACTICS WHICH WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR
THE UNOFFICIAL POLICE FORCES TO ESCAPE THE LAW.
AZAD SALLY SHOULD TELL US HIS MOTIVES.TO HELP THE
PERPETRATORS ESCAPE OR CHALLENGE THE MASTERS?

SOMA / April 29, 2014
Upali@,
so long Rajapakshe will be the leader of the nation, no nothing is given to stop gun culture. As it was the case with demining in nother soils, they could have controled all the weapons free on the hands of army deserters of other culprits, but they did not. Telling someting palatable, even today, they are far from being genuine with that. What is wrong if they implemented 17Amd by reenforcing all respective commisisons, by now, much more would have been settled. Specailly in the line of HR violations, if the atuhorities are genuine only, they would have done that meeting the long expectations of the people.
See on the west, if they trace drug dealers or other breachers, within ours they are managed to do so. All north african men and women that are identifed as the key cause for drug trafficking in europe, not forgetting parkistani migrants living in the european countries, police have the autohritiy to react independently, have managed all these to top. Why cant we, if they the authorities pay whole hearted efforts.
Best thing would be to introduce a workshop to Mahinda Rajapakshe bringing him HONEST.
All others come then later.
/
Punchiburampi / April 29, 2014
Since there is no way out to lanken political problems, with opposition is not given due rights, either R2P or workshops of making the man – Rajapakshe ” civilized, democratised, good natured” can help the nation for a better future.
My wish would be, if CW nations could do the job for us. In country of our nature – with all village folks being easily manipulated for Rajapakshe political survival, dissidents will have no chance. Their worries will become worsen day to another. Opposition has no rights at all. People´s voices end up in vain.

Soma, Are you suggesting we should get Mahinda Rajapakse to read the Koran to make him ‘HONEST’?

SOMA / April 29, 2014
Very right AS was made silent taking him to custody few months ago.
There he got shocked since then we did not hear anything. May be he waited until he would be raped by BBS and other men, while Azwer the bone licking kind of person, being obsequious by all absymal nature, supporting MR. Every word that comes from Azwer ´s cespit like mouth harm entire nation today, but Hakeem has woken up from his long sleep. It was just becuase oof the eleciton.
Tell me what has Hakeem done to the nation, being the minister of justice of the nation ?
Did the man have guts to open his mouth or the other end at the time, muslims were attacked, at the time DECENT kind of UNP MPs were attacked. at the time time, SF was attacked ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
/
whywhy / April 29, 2014
SOMA
Rauf Hakeem first has to do good to himself by
explaining why he calls his party “Muslim congress.”
Muslims in this PC election sent a strong message
seeking his explanation.Azad and Sajith should have
done something about that attack against the UNP MPs.
How was that Sajith was not in the group?It was his
power base and he was not one of the five!
/
Sama / April 29, 2014
I heard SF raising the issue clearly, and immeidately.

b) Other UNPs are harmed

That’s all they have done to our country including to the Minorities.
Please ask your self what Minorities have done to the majority 70% “Bath Boras” who played dirty politics and double standards on minorities to ruin our country and now been added by another “Balu Sena” to it.
Remember everybody has a right to Preach any religion anywhere and to enybody in every Democratic country.
If BBS wants to spread Buddhism, they could do so anywhere, not only in Sri Lanka but also in other Democratic countries in the world and they are doing it now with the Buddhist temples been opened in many countries.
At the moment Sri Lanka Buddhism have hi-jacked all our media including Radio, TV, Press and covered all our roads with Buddha statutes in every corner while recruiting six year old children as Samaneras.What else they want. Please tell us. BBS is mere big mouth, no work trouble creaters.
Yes BBS creating next generation of Buddhist Talibans in Sri Lanka while Brain washing and duping the public. It’s time to reveal their true motives to the world.

Azwer´s idiosyncratic nature is almost comparable that of DJ´s towards MR.
DJ criticises CBK,RW and every one but not a single word against MR yet.
Azwer is a man even if his family would have been raped by Rajapakshes, he would stay saying the all lies to satisfy MR and Rajapakshes. I have never heeard the bugger telling anything about their Muslims. He behaves as if he has been castrated. Sad for Muslim folks of the country. There are good young energetic ones to give lead to Muslims in the country, but for some reasons they stay mum .. yet mum.

I read the full list, commendable work.
it’s quite clear all this is leading towards gaining an edge and rallying the majority community for the next presidential election.
Now that the Praba bugi man is no more a new bugi man has to be invented, this has come in the form of muslim extremism
The challenge for the majority community is will they let themselves fooled by these actions ?
Will they make their stance clear and stop this mayhem from dragging the country to another civil war ?
Don’t you the majority think that muslims should be commended for being patient even with so much provocation in such a short period of time?
Maybe the muslims has realized this rowdy gandasara is not worth going to battle with!
We will keep voting for the opposition will you join together to topple this corrupt regime ?

To a certain extent,Hakeem and Badurdeen are Muslim

govt for a man like Ranil the Avatar of Dunnoth

the second and third line would-be leaders of the

/
srilal / May 2, 2014
WhyWhy ,
In SL , Muslim politicians can be real muslims If & when it suits them , otherwise it’s a matter of self interest vis a vis strengthening the hands of the great savoir of mother lanka.
as for UNP , it’s a complicated issue and there will bo no unity among the them as long as RW and sajith remain at the helm , there are a good number of potential candidates struggling to emerge from dust ( Harin Fernando , Kabir Hashim , Ajith P, Hasha Silva , Eran W , Sujeewa S et al ), first and foremost RW and his old guards must vacate the place and then sajith needs to be shown his actual due place in UNP (definitely not the leadership or the Deputy position ) , then there need to be real democracy & reforms within UNP in order to regain the public confidence.
PS : every body must encourage Ranil to stay in the US and to continue his lecturing at MIT as long as he can , in this way not only Ranil doing a great service To SL democracy but also American public as well.

I am no muslim / April 29, 2014
I have gone through Sally’s list. Talking about the images therein, I’d like to mention that what is shown as being damaged are illegal tin sheds and not proper mosques. We do not see any minerates in them. As for other images that demean Islamic holy places and/or prophet, I have never seen them before and I would not approve of it.
As for Sally’s claim of what BBS said publically at it meetings, speakers there never urged listener to fight, maim or kill Muslims or non-Buddhists. Those speakers merely point out injustices meted out to Buddhists. I suggest, Sally takes such talk as harangue and respond in kind. If such are the incidents in Sally’s 284 listing, I can quote at least 109 verses from the Koran that Muslim teach their followers to go to war with nonbelievers (include Buddhists) for the sake of Islamic rule. What say Sally, eh.
Very, very important
1) Sally hadn’t mention in his list and/or include images of Wahhabi and Salafi thugs burning over 150 house belong to followers of Abdullah ‘RAH’.
2) Sally hadn’t mention in his list and/or include images of Wahhabi and Salafi thugs exhuming dead bodies of Sufi saints illegally.
3) Sally hadn’t mention in his list and/or include images of Wahhabi and Salafi thugs burning those dead bodies of Sufi saints without permission.
4) Sally hadn’t mention in his list and/or include images of Wahhabi and Salafi thugs demolishing many a Sufi mosque and minerates throughout Sri Lanka.
5) Sally hadn’t mentioned that Panadura high court had sentenced three Wahhabi and Salafi thugs for rioting and killing three Sufi followers in Beruwala.
5) Sally hadn’t mention that ACJU has been given those Wahhabi and Salafi thugs their full backing. BBS, SR or RB had done nothing of sort.

Does this mean that setting up of this unit paves way for a different kind of law for the clergy? If this is the case then this will not end here, we will have one for politicians, one for ministry officials, one for their thugs etc… whom are we trying to cheat.
The only reason that this police force has been created is to ensure that cases do not pile up in courts and as the former legal Chief Justice did some judge may give a verdict against the robed thugs. Government is playing another game that is understood only by them.
Why do we need another police force, why don’t they give the police powers to the Provincial Councils and see how well the police will function as there will be no pressure from the top.

First of all it’s great guts and patience that Muslims showed after all these incidents while not taking revenge or act violently.
This shows that patience, brains and Pen are mightier than Sword.
Second These incidents shows that there’s a Powerful force and support behind these attacks. A well planned and cordinated attacks against Muslim community been carried to instigate another 1983 like progrom to murder, loot, vandalise and send the Muslim community to refugee camps.
Third Now that these attacks been exposed to the whole world, it gives more ammunitions to TRAC to ban BBS as a terrorist moveme. This may also spread to other extremist groups.
Fourth I don’t know what BBS ulterior motives are. Are they plan to wipe out Muslim and Christian communities from Sri Lankan soil and make them refugees and beggars under BBS……I don’t know. Also while these attacks are going on, Pres.Rajapakse going to Bahrain is questionable.
Since these harasments, thuggary, vandalizing and intimidation against minorities been exposed to the whole world, how GOSL plan to get more Foreign investments, projects, trade and loans are questionable.
IT’S BEST IF GOSL SEND BBS AS OUR FOREIGN TRADE TEAM TO BRING IN INVESTMENTS, BUSINESS AND INVESTMENTS TO DRI LANKA.
Very soon Sri Lanka will have to face repercussions and backlash from International community on these charges.

Irrespective of whether the BBS and the Ravayas have done right or wrong by the Muslims is not the question here. Azath Sally is a semi-literate who has got involved in fisticuffs earlier on many occasions.
The document has a whole lot of grammatical and other mistakes. He will do more harm than good to the Muslims by this move. This is one of those sensitive issues that should be handled with diplomacy and circumspection – which this Sally from the streets of Colombo Central, is unable to do. Sally is doing this for publicity and to remain, in the eyes of the Muslim leadership, in their focus as a leader. It may be remembered Sally is not welcome in the UNP, SLFP or SLMC. He, therefore, started a Muslim outfit claiming it is a Tamil-Muslim venture. No Tamil worth his name shared Sally’s trickery here.

First and foremost the Buddhism practiced by the Sinhalese is an insult to the true preaching’s of Lord Buddha. The Sinhalese are converts to Buddhism thanks to Sangamitta Thera from India. Buddhism is not about planting Buddha Statues in every street corner, by the side of dirty drains, next to meat/fish markets and alcohol shops or close to other locations of other religious worship creating disassociation and a nuisance. Buddhism is not about planting Buddha Statues by three wheeler drivers and administration of the same by such low caste principled yakko type fellows. Buddhism is not about blasting pirith on loudspeakers desecrating the silence of the environment. The statue of Lord Buddha is not a Christmas tree for an ignorant shameless population of Sinhalese to decorate with sparkling colorful lights to gain attraction. Buddhism is not a pedestal for a group of Mahanayake theros to create divisional politics and caste based nikayas such as the Siam, Malwatte, Asgiriya that play and pander with the dirty politics and racist policies of Sinhalese political leaders such as SWRD Bandaranayake and very recently Mahinda Rajapakse. Buddhism is not about these Mahanayake Theras to keep conveniently silent when thousands of Tamils were being murdered on the basis of patriotism and heroism in riots of 1915, 1956, 1958, 1977, 1983 and finally State genocide of 2009 by Sinhalese and only make an issue that Lord Buddha’s photographs need to be banned from being published in Newspapers because fish and meat or alcohol can be wrapped in the those same newspapers. Buddhism is not about banning meat and alchohol and even theatres on Poya days while Sinhalese are seen ganging up at supermarkets and shops the day before filling their larders with meat and alcohol. When Rev. Sangamitra Thera converted these uncivilized Sinhalese to Buddhism, little did he realize that these monkeys would one day abuse and use this religion as a tool for criminalizing society and manipulate the same for religious intolerance and racism. It is sad that India, being the true land of Lord Buddha and having the most exemplary Buddhists of the world fails to make a statement of the level of abuse and shameless indiscipline that is perpetrated by the Sinhalese in the name of Buddhism in Sri Lanka bringing untold shame on this great son of India Lord Buddha. Therefore, Sinhalese are just a shameless race that lives on stating that they are Buddhists to show the world that they are civilized but actually otherwise. The UN reports and the new UNHRC resolution show ample proof of this. It is thus an utter shame to state that Sinhalese are Buddhists though they hang onto this element to process and justify their ingrained shameless criminality.

I am no muslim / May 1, 2014
Spark,
You gave a list of ‘wrong Buddhism’ as per your understanding of Buddha Dhamma. I see that all you expect is Sinhala Buddhists to practice karuna, mudita and upeksha while you guys wash your dirty hands over their heads. Needles to say, you’re mistaken. No point arguing with you on Buddhism for your knowledge deemed abysmal.
All that I wanted to remind you is, you have forgotten that ‘the great religion of the greatest son of India, Lord Buddha’ was vanquished from its place of birth after a Muslim general named Bhaltiyar Kalji burned down Nalanda university in 1192 for no reason but for the words of Allah in the Koran and the monks who managed to save their lives left the country.
If you buggers think we Sinhala Buddhists can be made to be ashamed on wild and absurd allegations by LTTE rump and UN reports and UNHRC motions and let Kalji like modern day Muslim maniacs here to overwhelm Buddhism in Sri Lanka, you’re sadly mistaken.
Keep writing your crap and have nice a ego trip to reach your bliss.
/
Spark / May 3, 2014
Bingo is your response. You rightly claim the practice of Buddhism is about karuna, muditha and upeksha and “needless to say, you’re mistaken”….that the version Sinhalese practice or even willing to practice is just the opposite. These two statements of yours just sums up typical Sinhalese hypocrisy.
“Buddhism for your knowledge deemed abysmal”, this is like you know me so much and we are long time neighbors thus so according to your logic my knowledge of Buddhism is naught, another assumption. Remember Lord Buddha clearly states that even what he preaches needs to be challenged and verified.
Nothing is permanent and “Bhaltiyar Kalji burned down Nalanda university in 1192 for no reason….” is a transition. Did Buddhism die in India thereafter? Buddhism in India is now in a revered status, respected even by the Muslims and has become a sound discipline right down to China and the west. What is the status of Islam today? Don’t you see that it has become tool for the survival of terrorism and untold misery? Sri Lanka’s criminal friend Pakistan is just an example. So even though Sinhalese burn down the Jaffna University a million times over, they will not see peace and will always live in turmoil and insecurity.
According to you Sinhalese the world is all “buggers”, Navi Pillay is that, Ban Ki Moon is that, the whole western world is that, Obama is that however China is not that and Russia is not that. The bloody diaspora that is screwing this country is “buggers”, but haven’t you ever realized with that small brain of yours that the diaspora is one created by Sinhalese themselves. The repeated riots of 1915, 1956,1958, 1977, 1983 and the big bang of 2009 where thousands of Tamil homes were burnt, businesses torched, looted, killed and injured were forced to flee the country for their survival is now this diaspora. Do you believe if I were to tell you that in 1983 riots, even hospitals with pre-dominant Sinhalese health workers refused to treat innocent Tamil injured victims; and do you still claim Sinhalese are Buddhists? Now who has buggered and who is the bugger in this?
Ego!!! are you sure you understand what your writing? Please get back to the tree you have climbed down, and leave Buddhism for the true Buddhists of the world.

“If you buggers think we Sinhala Buddhists can be made to be ashamed”
You don’t need outsiders to do it for you, you are doing splendidly well by yourselves.
Why should others stop you?
